Heads UP Y'all - Gallup May 2 - Republicans Prefer Hillary (because she's the WEAKEST candidate)
Edited on Fri May-02-08 08:35 PM by Triana
What's that tell you about why they're suddenly so CHUMMY with Hillary? Eh? Why Scaife suddenly wants to give Hillary a nice shoulder rub? Why the Republicans and their lamestream media mouthpiece echo-chamber is oh-so-nicely GREASING Hillary's way to the nomination?

http://www.gallup.com/poll/106993/Republicans-Divided-Preferences-Democratic-Nominee.aspx

...

"Republicans who back Clinton for the Democratic nomination are about twice as likely as Obama backers to say their choice is based on the belief that the candidate is the weaker of the two Democrats."


So - those DUers who surmised this - were RIGHT. And Silly Hillary and her supporters are dancing RIGHT into their trap with idiot glee.

18. You know Randi told a rabid Hill supporter yesterday that she knows.....
exactly what the Repubs are holding on Clinton because she has the same information. I'm dying to know what it is, and why no one in the media is willing to tell us. And I'll bet you're right, the Obama campaign knows too, but they're not willing to go to those depths.

20. Randi is lying about Hillary.
She has nothing on HRC. If she did, we'd have heard it by now.

Hillary-hatred is like a brain fever to those poor souls afflicted with it. It burns up their reason and judgment and and turns formerly lucid and agreeable people into profanity-shrieking, machete-wielding maniacs.

Obamaniacs, to be precise.

As a liberal, I'm obliged to say that I hope Randy recovers her senses one day.

(But, truthfully, I don't give if a shit if she does or not. I'm done with her forever.)

4. I've been saying this for months
why do you think Faux is whoring for her 24/7? They know they can beat her in November.

5. Weakest because she would merely beat the shit out of McCain
instead of stomping his pasty ass into a grease spot.

She will help GOP turnout more than any amount of campaign dollars given to the GOP

10. That is right
You can tell by the outraged cries of Fox News. They are her staunchest allies.

11. They've been crossing their fingers, and doing anything else
they can think of for YEARS to ensure she was the Dem. nominee.

16. Heard on NPR - Rush wants Republicans to vote Hillary in the Primaries
...because they view her as easier to beat - and she'd UNIFY the Republicans like never before because they HATE her. As soon as she became the nominee, their little lovefest would be OVER.



So yea, VOTE HILLARY! Heh. Go ahead. Pffft!

13. I'm wondering if "Operation Chaos" is being played on the polls also.
Repug trouble-makers pretending to support Hillary in order to artifically increase her poll digits...

14. Of course. That's why they are piling on Obama. Obvious.
Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, etc. etc. - all their focus has been on Obama.

They desperately want to knock him out of the race. Even Hillary fans must question their support of her.

Then again, maybe not.

15. Why else would they be backing someone they sought to destroy for the past 15 years?
I would think this would be the obvious conclusion.

Still, it's nice to have it proven in numbers. I like math. Math works for me. ;)

21. Limbaugh Has Been Getting Out the Vote for Hillary for Months

The Democratic Party should be embarrassed.
